Daley Hake

The man's wardrobe consists of 2 pairs of pants and 1 pair of boots and if he could take his own photos while he shreds on the guitar...it couldn't get much better.

Daniel Gonzales

If you could connect the dots between sending out SOCOM Navy seals and leading a team of creative staff in a church...Daniel is where you'd connect it to.

Joshua Blankenship

The Design Director of NewSpring, Joshua is keeping them so simple that it's mind boggling.  Simple isn't always easy so he carries a design machete.

So if you believe church marketing sucks...and that you can be creative and NOT suck...then Michael is your party chairman.  He's also the Director at CFCC and founder & Creative Director for Holy Cow Creative.

Thomas Miller

We've got the Gateway worship DVD's on repeat all in our office and so should you.  Thomas is the leader of the worship team at Gateway and we're too busy pinching ourselves to write something more witty than this.

Jordan Becnel

Church
We've got a huge list of skills that Jordan has...some of which include worship leader and speaker.  We want to include "good fashion sense" but that's not really measurable.

David Russell

Once overheard on an international flight to LA..."...David Russell is the greatest guitar player ever".  That's an entirely different David Russell...but ours designs some of the best websites we've ever seen.

Charlie Loften

Pastoring Fellowship Bible Church, Charlie has also won national Twitter status contests and taken home prizes that rival even the largest street festivals. Charlie will deny this but there's no denying how talented a communicator he is.

Lynse Stevens

Church
Lynse Leanne lovingly lights literally loads of legendary linguists.  She's a mean lighting director at Church of the Highlands and a Twitter guru...but it was hard to keep thinking of words beginning with "L"...so we bailed. 

Colt Sammons

Church
Colt can create environments with whatever, whenever and whoever. He can also walk a 12 foot ladder forward and backwards over 23 feet while singing "Don't You Want Me Baby".

Aimee Farmer
Church
Aimee should be in those Crazy Glue commercials where the guy is hanging from a skyscraper by his helmet because she does that for the entire team at The Life Church.  She connects, coordinates and keeps everything rotating on its axis - even though she'll deny the axis part.

Matt Garner
Church
While "Lights, Camera, Action" may be a cute phrase you heard on a behind the scenes clip from Marley & Me...it's a call to arms to Matt Garner.  Plus, he can take apart a camera & put it back together again in 3.9 seconds.  Flat.

Jason is an actor, teacher, and all-around arts enthusiast.  Jason has worked in the USA and in the UK teaching others how to successfully integrate elements of the theatre into Sunday morning.

Gary Gillespie

Gary makes the church look good. The same way Crunchberries take some of the hurt out of Captain Crunch. But better. And more spiritual.

 

Lindsey Ingram

Stone Ward
Lindsey is the one we call when we've got marketing & advertising.  Seriously, she's the one who came up with the catchy description of dirt.  She's also the one we call about our Fantasy Football draft - but she hasn't returned our calls on that one.

Tarik Stewart
Twitter
Church
Spend 2 minutes talking with Tarik and you'll realize why Stovall Weems keeps him in a vault guarded by 2 guys with A-47s.  He's the creative brains behind Celebration Church and also Tom Cruise's cousin.  (we made that last part up...the whole Tom thing is a lie)

David Song
Twitter
Church
Website
David handles all things web for Healing Place Church.  Programming, layout, functionality.  He does it all.  He used to handle all things cage fighting - but that's on the backburner for a while.

Camron Ware
Twitter
Website
You'd lose count of the different venues that Camron has had the opportunity to create worship atmospheres... Rumor has it that Camron has spent so much time with projectors that he's actually a hologram...  Just a rumor though.

 

Sally Morgenthaler
Website
When we heard that Sally was coming to dirt - we did 2 things immediately.  Started cleaning up more than normal and gathering things for her to sign.  There's a reason she's considered the foremost expert on Worship environments...she wrote the book on it.  Seriously, she wrote Worship Evangelism.

Ashley Kimbrow
Twitter
Church
Ashley has been choreographing dance routines for New Life Church...and she's good.  We mean, really good.  As a matter of fact, if you don't believe us...we challenge you to a dance off with her right now.  That's what we thought.

Nathan Pruzaniec
Website
Church
Nathan made his first video for New Life Church for #dirt09 in a 15 hour van ride to North Carolina for the ARC Conference.  When we saw it - we realized we'd made a good decision.  Plus, he has yet to say no to a "Hey let's go to Sonic" run...  Love that guy!
